    Its a bloody good job we invested on the sports science and fitness management side of things, isn't it? Imagine how many injuries we'd have otherwise....

    One of them is injury prone.. this club must stop signing players that are like that. Its a waste of money and everyone's time.

    Bradford City can not afford not keep doing this..

    I'll stand by my comment when Angol got injured that he won't be starting regularly until the new year.

    Too much of a risk of him getting re-injured again. It will be a very slow re-introduction to the team.

    To be honest, chaps, it tells me all I need to know about the standard of the division below.

    I know some fans have been envious of certain signings, even including Mullin at Wrexham, but the division remains a step down despite fears some of these teams have more financial muscle.

    Crankshaw and Rowe wouldn't be posting those figures in the EFL, they're not good enough.

    Should we have signed Tshimanga, it would have been interesting as those stats imply he's too good for the NLP - but I'm not sure he'd have scored more than our own Andy Cook, who is joint 4th top scorer (and has been top 4 for most of the season), posting almost a 1-in-2 goal to games ratio.

    Still, as competition for Cook I'd certainly be willing to give someone like Tshimanga a try; but it just doesn't tell me that Rowe or Crankshaw or many of the players at that level are EFL L2 quality.

    Eisa was re-injured. He was on the verge of being back and got injured again.

    As regards Angol, DA said in the last press conference that he’s just waiting for the OK from the medical team. The impression I got was that his return is imminent.

    As it says this video was shot on October 26th, yet no sign or mention of when they might be fit to make the bench. .

    Some fans just think we are a Man instead of a Brad City

    Rupp needs to go but until then settle for the fact we are at an equilibrium that wont change until he does.

    Back ‘in the day’ many players were riddled with repeated cortisone injections and pain killers. A Ripped cartilage was a career ending injury. Broken legs ended careers. Playing after suffering concussion probably affected long term cognitive functioning. So different times with different consequences. As has been said many times, we seem to sign a significant number of players who have a history of injury and have lengthy repeated episodes.

    FA Cup on Saturday, followed by the Tuesday Papa Johns game, are perfect opportunities to get some minutes on the pitch.

    I saw Paul Reaney in a bath on an open day. Scarred me for life.

    It is looking threadbare all round.
    Ridehalgh, Eisa, Angol, Lavery all injured.
    Crankshaw sold.
    Sikora out on loan.
    By my reckoning there are only 19 fit first team players for Adams to choose from.

    Yes, it's been an impressive turnaround compared to the recent past!

    Mind you, I'm not convinced that not renewing the contract of one member of the old team and then reshuffling the pack with new roles for the other members of the old team would make much difference. It certainly wouldn''t meet my definition of 'investing' in the backroom staff.
